Following is one in a series of articles based on the words of New Thought leaders — current or past.
New Thought Inspiration from Carl Jung
Carl Gustav Jung (26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. His work has 
been influential not only in psychiatry but also in anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy and religious studies. As a notable research scientist based at the famous Burghölzli hospital, under Eugen Bleuler, he came to the attention of the Viennese founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. … Jung was also an artist, craftsman, and builder as well as a prolific writer. Many of his works were not published until after his death and some are still awaiting publication.
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.”
Carl Jung, like Albert Einstein, is not always recognized as a New Thought leader. But their words move profoundly beyond the physical or scientific into the spiritual realm.
According to Jung’s quote, creativity does not come from the intellect. How interesting!
I’ve always considered creativity as a God-given talent manifesting through us by Spirit, the Universe, or the Force who is bigger and greater than ourselves.
I also believe each one of us is blessed with a talent or gift we need to share with the world. Depression and unrest in our souls, in my opinion, comes from not using or sharing our specific gift(s).
This is why I send out these emails to creative and spiritual folks: I encourage you to find and use your gifts. And, if in the process, the sharing of your gift impacts the lives of those around you, then you are truly blessed!
One last quote from Carl Jung on the inner impact of finding your vision:
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.“
